OMG LIL' HANNAH HI.
Rose's Luxury is freaking amazing. We went on a Monday, got there at 5:30 to put our names on the list, had a drink nearby and they called us by like, 7:15. Well worth the wait.
My sister IUHoosierGirl is on point with recommendations. My favorite restaurants are Rasika (the original is in Penn Quarter, but there's a newer one in West End that's sometimes easier to get a reservation) and Zaytinya (but you can't go wrong with any of the Jose Andres places). Ted's Bulletin is more casual and really fun, with a huge menu.
My visitors have raved about drinks at the Hamilton and Old Ebbitt (very "DC"). The main selling point for POV is the view, I really can't stand the bar. I'm a bourbon drinker, so my usual spots are Jack Rose, Bourbon or Barrel.
Things to see: Newseum is my favorite museum and everyone I've taken there has loved it. Eastern Market is fun on a Sunday. And for off the beaten path -- my favorite monument is Roosevelt Island. It's an island with trails and a monument to Teddy Roosevelt in the middle, accessed via the GW Parkway.
